Dear Artur Pozniak,
A general contact algorithm for nonlinear elastostatics has been implemented in Getfem (based on field extension) but is not working for the moment. This will probably take still some time to stabilize it and make it reliable. Normally, concerning elastodynamics, this won't be a great difficulty to adapt some stable strategies for the approximation of contact in dynamics once the general contact algorithm will be finalized. Notes, that the contact bricks with non-matching meshes developped by Konstantinos Poulios are already able to take into account some complex contact situations, but a priori in the framework of small deformations.
